With increasing urbanisation and the impacts of climate change, flooding is becoming one of the most common natural disasters to affect not just the UK but the world over.

This means that flood risk management, resilience and better flood protection is becoming an inherent part of our built environment and infrastructure investment, in order to create a nation resilient and safe from flooding and coastal change.

At PJA, we have a team of engineers, hydrologists, environmental scientists and hydrogeologists skilled in dealing with the diverse challenges of flood risk management, from the complex modelling of rivers and floodplains to negotiating softer stakeholder issues with regards to biodiversity and landscaping.

We are experts in delivering combined engineering, environmental and sustainable solutions with a commercial focus to support decision makers in understanding and coping with flood risk.

Our experience holistically includes undertaking wastewater drainage strategies, including the detailed design of pumping stations and packaged treatment works, as well as designing and specifying water treatment process and desalination plants.

Our expertise covers:

• Hydraulic Modelling
• Catchment Analysis
• Flood Risk Assessment
• Flood Evacuation Plans
• Flood Resilience and Resistance
• Integrated and sustainable, flood resistant masterplanning
• Climate Change Adaptation
• Diversion of Watercourses and River Restoration project
• SuDS and Sustainable Drainage Strategies
• Flood Alleviation & Compensation Schemes
